The dark almost coal-dark flavour of the dark chocolate cookie has been lightened and replaced with bits of sugar grains.it does not balance with the creamy, sweet middle anymore,but emphasizes.

it's too light and sugary in flavour and the sugar grains are shamefully visible on the cookie, which to me implies a 'they-won't-care-or-notice-they're-just-sugar-addicts' attitude for the customers. i personally think visible sugar grains sprinkled on a sweet treat is lazy and shows how little value a product and its customers are to its manufacturer.

i know this is only done to Oreos in specific areas and not to all Oreos all over the world, hopefully.so this review might not represent the majority of areas where Oreos are sold.
